One of the rare teachers who actually cares about her students and makes sure they're understanding what's been taught. Also flexible with deadlines because she understands that students are usually pressed for time. 10/10 would recommend taking her class.
Marion is an amazing professor. Got back to learning french after a year break and she made me realize why i loved learning a different language. Do the work and you'll do fine in the class. She is very accessible and did I mention, she is just an amazing and fun professor overall!
I loved her as a teacher, 10/10 recommend taking her class if you have the chance. She is helpful, adorable, and kind. She made me want to continue in the French minor and to study abroad in France. Focuses on grammar a lot but I think that is important anyways in order to understand the language and know your French. I'd love to take another class
BEST PROF EVER!!! She is truly amazing but be warned FR6 is not for the faint of heart! This class is extremely difficult, not because of the prof but because of content. Be warned!
Marion Labatut is one of, if not, the most amazing professor I have ever had at UCSB. She is a light in the classroom and inspires students to have a good time while learning. I woke up each morning happy to attend her class which made participation easy! I highly recommend her for any French course.
Marion is an amazing professor! You can tell how much passion and work she has put into the class from the preparation she did for every class. And you will master the grammar if you listen carefully in class. She is also caring and fun. Très bonne prof !
